Official: Lindhout (Netherlands) Historical Context Forest vs Malmö and past encounters. The two clubs have a historical link, also facing each other in Forest's most recent continental tour in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the European Cup final 46 years ago that links these clubs, with the record-breaking signing Trevor Francis scoring the winner of a pretty miserable final to claim legendary status for the Forest supporters.

Theirs has been an outstanding achievement that it is hard to see being repeated – from the lower league to European stage in a short period." One should note to consider Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Scandinavian side to make the championship match under manager Houghton. This match is a very different to that summit, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are absolutely buzzing after beating Liverpool 3-0 at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since early November following the end of the Swedish league season. The smart money is on the English side tonight. Numerous other matches on offer in this clockwatch. Rangers have already been defeated by a Braga this season. Rangers are last place of the 36-team Europa League standings at the middle of the league phase with exactly zero. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any hope of making a recovery for a qualification place. Updates will continue with all the late games and provide the current standings from the previous games, including Villa vs Young Boys and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
